Abstract:Entrepreneurship research is thriving, with hundreds of scholars around the world contributing to our better understanding of the entrepreneurial phenomenon. The disciplinary entries are numerous, as well as are the topics of interest. The Entrepreneurship, Culture, Finance and Economic Development (ECFED) International Workshop is specifically designed to facilitate high level, high intense discussion and fruitful exchange between scholars involved in entrepreneurship research. It has shown a great success in its previous editions (Caen 2008, Cartagena 2010, Namur 2012, Klagenfurt 2014, Lyon 2016 and Santander 2018) gathering a voluntarily limited number of participants in order to support strong individual participation and the development of convivial relationships. An ECFED-CLA, for ECFED-Central and Latin America, was organized in Aguascalientes (Mexico) in 2017.

This issue of the International Review of Entrepreneurship contains a selection of papers presented at the 6th ECFED International Workshop, June 14 - 15, 2018 at the University of Cantabria, Santander, Spain. Following the workshop, all papers went through a thorough review process. We believe the six selected papers form a nice illustration of the diversity in topics being studied in contemporary entrepreneurship research.
